The AI Visibility Checker shows you whether ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity mention your brand when someone asks about your category. Enter your brand and category, and it runs the question a real buyer would ask, then reports if you show up, what the AI says about you, and which sources it pulled from. This matters because buyers now ask AI before they Google, and roughly 40% of the answers AI gives on commercial questions are sourced from Reddit. If you are missing from those answers, you are invisible at the exact moment a prospect is choosing who to trust.
How it works
The checker asks ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity a category-level question, the kind a buyer types when they do not know the winner yet, like "best tools for X" or "who should I hire for Y". It then reads the answer for three things: whether your brand is named, what the models say about you, and where the answer came from.
Sources are the part most people miss. AI models do not invent recommendations, they repeat what they read. When you see the same forum threads and Reddit discussions cited again and again, you are looking at the raw material of your category's AI answers. The checker surfaces those sources so you can see who is being recommended and why.
Why it matters for AI visibility
AI visibility decides who gets recommended before a buyer ever reaches your website. Search is shifting from a list of links to a single answer, and that answer names a short list of brands. If you are not on the list, you do not get the click, the demo, or the deal.
Reddit is the mechanism behind most of that answer. About 40% of the sources AI models cite on commercial queries come from Reddit, because the models treat real user discussion as trustworthy, unbiased opinion. So the practical question is not "how do I rank in AI" in the abstract, it is "am I present in the Reddit threads the AI reads about my category". The checker tells you where you stand today so you know if there is a gap to close.
How to read your results
If your brand is named across all three models, you already have some presence, and the job is to defend and expand it. Note which sources the AI leaned on, because those are the threads doing the work for you.
If your brand is missing, or only one model mentions you, that is the gap. Look at who the AI recommends instead and where those citations come from. In most categories, a competitor is being named because their name appears in the discussions the models read, and yours does not. That is a fixable position, not a permanent one.
Frequently asked questions
What is an AI Visibility Checker?
An AI Visibility Checker is a free tool that asks ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity about your category and reports whether your brand appears in the answer, what the models say about you, and which sources they used. It gives you a quick read on whether AI recommends you to potential buyers.
Why doesn't ChatGPT mention my brand?
ChatGPT mentions the brands that appear in the sources it trusts, and for commercial questions those sources are heavily weighted toward Reddit and other discussion forums. If your brand is rarely discussed in those threads, the model has nothing to pull from, so it recommends competitors who are.
Is the AI Visibility Checker free?
Yes, the AI Visibility Checker is free to use. Enter your brand and category and it runs the check across ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity. Readyt, the paid platform, goes further by actually building your presence in the Reddit threads AI reads.
How is this different from the Readyt product?
The checker is a free diagnostic: it tells you if you are visible in AI answers right now. The paid Readyt platform is the fix: it finds the right threads, drafts and posts human-approved replies from aged accounts, and tracks your citations over time so your AI visibility actually grows.
How often should I check my AI visibility?
Check monthly, or after any push to build your Reddit and content presence. AI answers change as new discussions get indexed, so a brand that is absent today can start showing up once it is present in the threads the models read.
